I hear people say, when talking about BTW it's "full of fillers", but when I think of Fillers on BTW the only songs that come to mind are Bad Kids, and Highway Unicorn and Electric Chapel at a stretch. And it isn't like her other albums don't have fillers:

 

Gurl NO. Fashion Of His Love and Bad Kids are the only fillers

[JiU 2,194]

There are definitely a couple songs that I can see as filler, such as FOHL or Bad Kids. But honestly I think most of BTW is very divisive as to what is absolute best, some people love BJ+AF, I don't really listen to it. This makes people think that there's filler.

Fillers = songs that wouldn't have changed the album if they were left out

for instance: In BTW album = Highway Unicorn (Road To Love, Bad Kids, Fashion Of His Love, Black Jesus Amen Fashion)

In all honesty only TF and Joanne have actual fillers because fillers are songs made ONLY to filler space on album tracklists 

What tracks do you think are fillers on Joanne?

[Peter Pan 138]

BTW has the least fillers, along with Joanne. Most of the songs mentioned here and classified as fillers by monsters are usually my favorite songs

How are Sinners Prayer and JAD fillers???

One of the best songs on Joanne hands down lol 

[TropicOfCANCER 6,292]

"Fillers" is a subjective term. Some people love songs, and would consider them album stand-outs, while others dislike songs and dismiss them as fillers. There's no way to measure or answer this definitively. Those who say that BTW is an album full of fillers simply don't like the album.

k the best way to gauge fillers is to look at the song individually and see how it compares to the rest of the album sonically and lyrically. In this sense, i don't think there's really any fillers on BTW because most of the songs have a cohesive sound and lyrical theme.

How is Bad Kids filler when it applies to the theme of Born This Way, "don't be insecure if your heart is pure, you're still good to me if you're a bad kid baby."  

The correct answer here is Fashion Of His Love & The Queen.

I feel like there aren't really any fillers Joanne but thanks for the input!  I can see Grigio Girls as a filler maybe but I just think it's more of a deluxe track rather than a filler

It comes down to opinion 

Summerboy and Swine are highlights of mine in Gaga's discography so they're not fillers for me, but for you they are apparently.

They only focus on fan favourites and hit singles. I don't get why these stans call amazing songs like Highway Unicorn has the best chorus, Just Another Day is my sh!t, and Money Honey is my highlight.

Well, lead that topic up to those people. 

Sis Highway Unicorn is one of the best productions she's ever had

[Reginald 13,841]

Gaga's filler quality is pretty 100. Some pop starts put *no* effort into their non-single tracks.

[RAMROD 109,261]

It means nothing as far as BTW concerned, some people just not into some genres and they called it "fillers" just because they can't enjoy it themselves.

 @ u saying Bad Kids and Fashion! are fillers
